Another esteemed Republican contempt.
rary rises to lay down the law regarding
the West Virginia senatorship. The ST.
Louis Globe Democrat says:
"The West Virginia senatorial complica-
ton has been increased by the discovery that
Judge Faulkner, who was elected at the
special session Of the Legislature, is dis.
qualified BY reason OF State law which
prevents judges from being candidates for
any Office. With the Governors nominee
a senator in name only, with no power to
take bis seat and the elected successor TO
Mr.. Camden disqualified, there seems every
opportunity for quite series Of contests"
In view OF the facts that the qualifications
Of senators are fixed by the Constitution OF
the United States, that Judge FAULKNER 5
election was not antagonistic to any pro-
vision Of the Constitution, and that there
is an exact precedent for seating HIM, the
West Virginia law disqualifYing him is not
worth the paper it Is printed on.

Whoa, January

Tn considering the following article from
the Providence Journal, the fairest
of northern Journals avowedly Re-
pub.,can, we cannot but recall ar
ticles which sometimes appear In
English OF other foreign Journals relative
10 matters in the United States. In fact,
we are reminded Of the Yankee who In
France was invited to dine at gentleman's
house " it'll a countrvmau. which country

niap. When We remember that 1t was the
MALONE or Republican party that led Vir-
ginia into her first act Of reputation;
that Re publican President of the United
States allowed MALONE to prostitute the
Federal offices and officers in his mad effort
20 succeed; that the war-cry Of these men

scarcely whites enough In some counties TO

means Of paying the debt OF Virginia ?
We quote the Journal In full-as follows:
"geprblicans throughout the country
will rote with much pleasure that the de-
feat IN the Virginia Legislature the other
day Of constitutional amendment which
provided for the reputation OF all the
debt OF the State that is not already

10 the Editor of The Dispatch:
will you be kind enough to let the readers
OF your paper know your authority for as
summg that the Attorney General OF the
United States Is in the line OF promotion to
the Supreme bench? Please state how
many attorney-gencrals have ever. in the
history Of the United States, been promoted
from that Office TO the Supreme Bench.
When Virginia can furnish a man emf
nently qualified for the Federal Supreme
Bench, State pride should induce every
Virginisn to assist In elevating him to the
position. y.
We have never assumed" any such
thing. We copied little paragraph from
paper in your town for the purpose OF
correcting two little errors contained in it,
and it WAS this paragraph, as Y very we'll
knows, that assumed" that the Attorney
General OF the United States is in the line
OF promotion to the Supreme Bench. In
stead Of writing to the VindiCdtor, Y writes
to us, and "sssumes that we had done
what that paper had done. We turn him
over TO the Vindicstor.

Debts and Prosperity

The Lynchburg Advance takes no stock
IN the common belief that the condition Of
our public debt has kept away from vir'
glnia either capital or capitalists. 1t OK
presses It's own ideas as follows:
"The debt question has been pending for
years, and in Its worse condition for the
last few years, and vet more capital and
enterprise have come into the State within
the last five years than ever before since
we were colony. We are building neT
railroads and forming new syndlcates
every day; northern capitalists are buyins
new lsnded estates, opening new mines, and
building new manufacturing establish
ments everywhere, with full knowledge
Of The unsettled situation OF The debt ques'
lion, and yet two or three papers ~ the
stale still try TO inculcate the idea Ina,
capital Is afraid to come TO Virginia!
"Tbe idea Is simply absurd. Every sane
man must know that, so far from there De-
ing any danger OF increased taxation, thf
greatest probability Is that it will be re.
duced, and that so far nom paying the ful'
demands OF the bondholders, the certainty
Is that nothing can ever be exacted from III

danger then have capitalists to fear hg
